Agreed with other reviews,…read morethis session is like no other; it's multi-disciplinary- part therapy, part Reiki (?) and reflexology and sports massage. It's painful at times, for sure but cathartic in my case. From one session, she was able to give me a sense of clarity, both mental and muscular. I started the session with my left side much tighter than my right, evidenced by my left leg about half an inch shorter. By the end of the session, she worked it out so that they were even. I hope to come back yearly to see her. She's a national treasure!

My husband has had multiple short and long-term/chronic sports injuries from cycling and still has…read morenagging injuries despite years of active recovery and aggressive therapy. He has tried everything from corrective surgery and cortisone shots to acupuncture, rolfing, muscle stimulation, and physical therapy, and was understandably skeptical when I booked him a session, but walked out completely pain free!

I highly recommend Mary for anyone looking for real relief from pain!

Thank you, this was what we wanted while being on vacation!!

They checked in thoughtfully, adjusted as needed, and made us feel completely cared for throughout the experience. We will absolutely be back--specifically for Noel and Michelle.

I recently had a HydraFacial here and it was an excellent experience. From the start, Tamara was very thorough and professional. She asked thoughtful questions about my skin and explained the treatment so I knew what to expect. What stood out to me most was her technique and attention to detail. The exfoliation and extraction steps were done carefully and effectively, and she made sure my skin stayed comfortable throughout the entire treatment. My skin looked noticeably brighter and smoother right afterward, and it felt incredibly hydrated without any redness or irritation. You can tell she really cares about doing treatments properly and making sure clients get great results. The space itself was clean, relaxing, and very well run. Overall it felt like a high-quality service from someone who clearly takes pride in her work. I would absolutely recommend booking with her.

I actually had her work on me at another spa and followed her here. She is ahhhhhhmazing. And she is quite strong when needed. My husband also loves her massages too and because of this we are now no longer able to get massages at the same time because she is only one person. Bummer. But so worth the wait. I love that she knows most massage techniques and is even excellent at Thai. I highly recommend you give her a try if you are in the area. She is a wonderful human and has really wonderful energy.

I was gifted a 60 minute Swedish massage Groupon and my husband scheduled my appointment with…read moreRandy. Parking was plentiful on a Saturday afternoon and the small location easy to find. Randy did mention that they are moving locations next week, however. Intake form was standard. Randy reviewed the form and asked a few questions before allowing time to get on the table. Small touches to the amenities were very nice, such as hooks for bags, a bin for glasses and keys, hair ties provided should you have forgotten your own, and peppermint oil on the face cradle. Randy managed to work on my noted problem areas while completing a full body Swedish within the 60 minutes. He was not chatty, but checked in a few times which I appreciate. He has a good sense of pressure and corrected for some bilateral imbalance in tension, which many massage therapists do not do. Towards the end, warm towels were used on my back and legs to remove excess oil, and I was given a cloth after to remove any excess massage oil. After getting dressed Randy debriefed me on aligning my hip and gave some recommendations about switching sides while carrying my son to avoid imbalance. Overall I was very happy with the experience and would return. Massage is not something I often make time for, but the experience was both relaxing and physically therapeutic here. Well worth the time and expense. I would definitely recommend trying this place out. The only unfortunate part was that my husband was also given a Groupon and was told he could not use it because they moved locations. He had to have his sister call Groupon to reimburse.

The products are light and effective. She's gentle and gives a great upper body massage. For full body massage, my personal favorite is CC, but honestly, I've tried several different therapists and it's always been very good. The salon keeps the prices reasonable and I love this because it gives me room to tip the therapists really well. It's really a win-win for everyone. Last I have to talk about the owner, who is probably one of the nicest people I've ever met. She works really hard to meet the needs of everyone and if you're ever not satisfied, she will rectify it immediately. We are so lucky to have this business in town.

I wasn't ever planning to leave this review, but Tatiana is using some automated service that…read moretexted me twice in the past two days asking for a review even though I was a one-time customer literally 6 years ago. I also wasn't even the recipient of the massage -- I had bought a gift certificate to Tatiana's Massage for a family member. Nevertheless I was reminded of my bad experience and am annoyed enough from getting spam texts to finally leave this review. My family member told me the massage was really weird, and they were almost certain that Tatiana was texting on her phone throughout a large portion of it. They said they thought they were going crazy because what massage therapist has the audacity to do that, but they were face down or otherwise couldn't see to confirm during the massage. They just repeatedly felt her attention drift away from the massage as she kept shifting to only using one hand. Then, after the massage, they were exchanging pleasantries before my family member left, and they said she seemed to get a notification on her phone and pulled it out from her apron to look at it DURING their exit conversation. They said that confirmed it that she must have been texting during the massage and they were not in fact imagining it. Tatiana seemed nice during my brief interaction with her when I was purchasing the gift card, but based on my family member's experience I would not recommend this service. It seems her practice has grown and there are other massage therapists working for her now. So maybe they won't be on their phones if you book with them, but as the owner she lacks integrity. There are tons of other great massage therapists in the area who actually deserve your business.
